Summering in Nantucket, Mass., Houston’s own Franci Crane had a 60th birthday celebration that took the cake — a $1 million cake. Or, to be more precise, a cake decorated as a $1 million bill, which guests enjoyed after a clambake on Miacomet Beach.

Franci Crane.

A cake for Lynn Wyatt, who was celebrating her sweet 75th, was bedecked with — what else? — yellow roses, Crane wrote in an e-mail.

Among those walking barefoot in the sand with lobster bibs adorning their necks: Carrin Patman and Jim Derrick, Melanie Gray and Mark Wawro, Celina Hellmund, Sheridan and John Eddie Williams, Cynthia Petrello, Kathryn and Jim Ketelsen, Cece and Mack Fowler, Priscilla and Kermit Roosevelt (great-grandson of Teddy Roosevelt), Phoebe and Bobby Tudor, Nancy and Scott Atlas, and acclaimed photographers Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher and about 90 other guests.

Family members in the mix included Crane’s son Trey Beck, stepson Jared Crane, and stepdaughter Krystal Thompson and her hubby Garrett, and — of course — Crane’s husband Jim.

The next morning, despite her protests that she’s “no Jackie Kennedy, let me assure you,” the birthday girl gave about 40 Houstonians a tour of the Cranes’ new digs. But the party was just beginning as another night of revelry had about 220 people dancing the night away under a tent in the Cranes’ yard to the sounds of the B-52s.

The dancer-in-chief: Crane herself, rocking a Monique Lhuillier dress made of fringed raffia in deep lemon yellow. A second birthday cake took the shape of huge hydrangeas.
